Actually the 720x352 [I thought it was 356] is the way standalone
DVDR encode when you go to such things as the long-play mode.

It's not wide screen - it would really be more like narrow-screen -
if the system did not expand it.

It the format is size much like the screen-saves, etc., in the MS
products - but are stretched sideways two times to restore them to
their original dimensions.
